Serial protocol

HI guys,

 

I am using a GT16A micro and I was wondering if the serial communication protocol can be changed. Normally we have

 

Start bit + 8/9 bits + stop bit

 

Is it possible to have

 

8/9 bits + stop bit ?

 

If yes how can I do that ?

No, it is not possible to eliminate the start-bit.

 

Without a start-bit, how would you know when a transfer has started?

I thought of that too but I am using an Xbee which runs a different protocol. Apparently it only has a the transfer bits + parity + Stop bit. this is a bit bizarre. but I will look into it further.

 

cheers
